Antipoleez
When I first heard about this product, I was a little surprised about it. Antipoleez is a product that you can use to get rid of bad breath resulting from consumption of alcohol, tobacco and food. I can see this being a product that you would use if you don’t want your significant other knowing you went out after work for drinks. However, I see a much better use for this. Being a nonsmoker, I cannot stand the smell of cigarette smoke. When I was pregnant, I was super sensitive to the smell. However, I live with a smoker. I would love for him to use a product like this so it isn’t like kissing an ashtray. When I was pregnant, Bill would have a cigarette at lunch and I could smell it on him at dinnertime that night. He would have loved this product. It would have saved us a lot of toothpaste. The other benefit is that it takes care of bad breath. I also have husband who loves garlic. His breath, at times, could knock you over (though I don’t have to worry about vampires!). There are many great uses for this product — I just have to talk Bill into getting it.
October 15th Wave of Light for Pregnancy and Infant Loss
Having lost a child myself and knowing many others who have also, please take a few minutes of your time and light a candle tomorrow night. Everyone knows someone who has went through this loss (and you may not even know it). According to the Center for Disease Control Trends, 983,000 babies died in 1996 from miscarriage and stillbirth. That figure does not include neonatal loss, SIDS, or other causes. This is an old statistic, but that number is huge. It has also went up since then.
A pregnancy or infant loss is not something you tell the whole world about. Often, it is something that you keep private. It is one of the most horrible experiences you can ever go though. I talk about it, because it is good for me, and I hope that it will help someone else. You will always have a hole in your heart, but it does get smaller.

Birth Control
As a young woman nowadays, birth control is very important. The choices you make regarding it also have a great deal of weight attached to them.
My Birth Control Trial and Errors
I personally have tried several different things. My first method of birth control was the pill. When I first started it, there was not over a dozen of different kinds. Instead, there were only one or two, and that is what you were stuck with. I hated it. I next tried Depo Provera. Of all the kinds of birth control out there, this one is my favorite. You get a shot every couple of months, and you no longer have your period. It is awesome. The biggest drawback is that it can take up to 18 months to get out of your system. After Madison, we did not know when we wanted to have our next kid, so this form of birth control was no longer an option. Instead, I went back on the pill. My second try with the pill was much better. I was not as moody as I was the first time. I also like knowing when my monthly friend is going to arrive. However, I cannot remember to take the stupid thing. I am amazed that I did not get pregnant while on the pill, since I could not tell you how many times I missed taking it. Before I got pregnant with Will, I was on the ortho evra patch. I loved it. I only had to remember to take replace my patch once a month. Honestly, I have not decided if I will go back to the Ortho Evra patch or not after my six week checkup. This will be something I will discuss with my obgyn and get his thoughts.
Why should you care about the Ortho Evra Patch and its effects?
I started this post by saying that your birth control decisions may determine the rest of your life. I know that sounds overly dramatic. However, everything you put in your body has its own risks. For example, there is an Ortho Evra Lawsuit. This has come about because of some of the negative effects of the patch. I know I said I loved it. However, there have been some very serious side effects that some women have experienced. The lawsuits have come about because Johnson & Johnson did not tell people of the increased risk of blood clots and other complications. I know if I ended up with a clotting disorder and that possibly was not told to me, I would be extremely upset and angry.
What is my next step regarding the Ortho Evra Patch?
If you are currently on the Ortho Evra Patch, you should talk to your doctor about your own personal risks. The two of you should decide if this is the birth control for you.
If you have had complications after using the Ortho Evra Patch, you definitely should contact:
Ortho Evra Lawsuit – Birth Control Patch. These are lawyers who can tell you your legal rights and if you should receive some sort of compensation for your problems caused by the Ortho Evra Patch. If you contact them, you are not agreeing to anything besides talking to them about your situation. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
